Tim Webb named Academic All-District by CoSIDA

May 2, 2014

Bluffton's Tim Webb (Delaware/Worthington Christian) was recently named Academic All-District by CoSida.
Webb, a four-year starter behind the dish, was named first team All-District. He was the
only Heartland Conference baseball player to be honored in District 7. Webb is the
first Bluffton baseball player to be recognized as Academic All-District by CoSIDA
in the history of the award.

The senior backstop has been Academic All-HCAC in both of the years in which he has
been eligible. Webb is a two-time Second Team All-Heartland Conference selection.
Driving a Bluffton offense that is on the verge of its first-ever Heartland Conference
tournament berth, Webb has a .393 batting average with a team-high 35 RBI to go along
with his 27 runs scored. Webb has amassed 55 hits this season and his 13 two-baggers
are the most on the team.

To be nominated for the CoSIDA Academic All-America program, a student-athlete must
be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average at
his/her current institution. Nominated athletes must have participated in at least 50
percent of the team's games at the position listed on the nomination form. No student-athlete
is eligible until he/she has completed one full calendar year at his/her current institution
and has reached sophomore athletic eligibility.

By earning first team honors, Tim Webb is automatically placed on the ballot for consideration
on the Capital One NCAA Division III Academic All-America team which will be released
later in May. The CoSIDA All-District teams are selected and voted on by the sports
information directors who are members of CoSIDA.
